Will it be possible to put the streets of Riga in order? Where are all the presidential candidates hiding? Ogre – little Hungary • IR.lv

You can always complain about the roads. Repairs everywhere in the summer, traffic jams in the fall. In winter, the streets are not cleaned, but in the spring, when flower buds start to open in the beds, holes open in the asphalt. Since there are more streets and people in Riga, there are certainly more complaints here. However, the city council has a plan to save the capital’s streets. What do the city fathers promise?

Very soon, in two months, presidential elections are planned, but still no party has officially announced the nomination of a candidate. Why?

Disturbing news continues to arrive from little Hungary, sorry Ogres, where free-thinking is not respected. These and other issues are discussed And journalists Agnese Meiere, Aivars Ozoliņš and Pauls Raudseps.

In the podcast Škiltava And journalists explain, discuss and sometimes laugh at the week’s political and social events every Friday. Reveals the behind-the-scenes of both the events and the work itself, which have no place in the traditional printed magazine frames. The podcast is available Ir.lv, Spotify, Apple un Google Podcasts.
